What is a saturated fatty acid? - ANSWER A straight fat chain with no bends,
packed with hydrogen, and usually solid.
What is an unsaturated fatty acid? - ANSWER A bent fat chain with double
bonds, and it's usually liquid.
What is the base foundation of an Eicosanoid? - ANSWER Arachidonic acid
What are the three types of Eicosanoids? - ANSWER Prostaglandins,
Leukotrienes, and Thromboxanes
What is the base foundation for steroids? - ANSWER Cholesterol
What is an example of a steroid? - ANSWER Sex hormones
(testosterone/estrogen)
What is the plasma membrane made of? - ANSWER Phospholipids
(phospholipid bi-layer))
, What does selectively permeable mean? - ANSWER Allowing some substances
in while limiting others.
What is DNA? - ANSWER Deoxyribonucleic Acid - genetic information
What is RNA? - ANSWER Ribonucleic Acid - Carries out protein synthesis.
What is ATP? - ANSWER Adenosine Triphosphate
What is ADP? - ANSWER Adenosine Diphosphate
What is AMP? - ANSWER Adenosine Monophosphate (one phosphate)
What is the cristae in the mitochondria? - ANSWER A fold that helps
synthesize ATP.
Where is energy stored in molecules? - ANSWER Phosphate bonds
What is phosphorylation? - ANSWER The addition of a phosphate group to a
molecule (ADP-->ATP)
What is dephosphorylation? - ANSWER The removal of a phosphate group
from a molecule.
,What enzyme is involved with the phosphorylation of ADP to ATP? -
ANSWER ATP Synthase
What enzyme is involved with the dephosphorylation of ATP to ADP? -
ANSWER ATPase (adenosine triphosphatase)
What does an aerobic reaction require? - ANSWER Oxygen
What does an anaerobic reaction not require? - ANSWER Oxygen
What are the three parts of cellular respiration? - ANSWER Glycolysis, Krebs '
Cycle, Electron Transport Chain
Where does glycolysis take place in cellular respiration? - ANSWER The
cytoplasm
Where does the Krebs ' Cycle take place in cellular respiration? -
ANSWER The mitochondrial matrix
Where does the Electron Transport Chain take place? - ANSWER The inner
mitochondrial matrix
How many ATP is produced in Glycolysis? - ANSWER 4 total with a net of 2
What is pyruvate? - ANSWER A glucose molecule is split into 2
, What is the main purpose of the glycolytic pathway? - ANSWER The
breakdown of glucose into 2 pyruvate molecules
If oxygen is present, where does the pyruvate go? - ANSWER Into the
mitochondria for The Kreb's Cycle
If oxygen is NOT present, where does the pyruvate go? - ANSWER The
pyruvate is fermented and turned into lactic acid, where it is then filtered by the
liver, which will then produce more glucose.
How many ATP are generated in the Krebs ' Cycle? - ANSWER 2 ATP
What is the purpose of the Krebs' Cycle? - ANSWER Strip electrons and
hydrogen from Glucose, and load them onto carriers (NADH/FADH2) so they can
be used to make a lot of ATP in the ETC.
What is OIL RIG? - ANSWER Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain
What is LEO GER? - ANSWER Lose Electron Oxidation, Gain Electron
Reduction
What else is produced in the Krebs ' Cycle? - ANSWER 2 CO2 molecules
Where does the CO2 produced from the Krebs ' Cycle go? - ANSWER Into the
bloodstream, and then exhaled by the lungs.
